Target for this week was 59k. Actually achieved: 72k, with 3 more k's to come tomorrow.
Target next week: 63k. Don't want to push too hard.
Impressive!
I'm trying to up my distance a bit seeing as I've got my first half marathon coming up soon. I just find it so difficult to find the time though, especially now that it's dark when I get home from work!
Hit a new longest distance today, 14.77km in 1hr 35 minutes. So annoying as I probably could of got under 1hr 30 but I got hit with a crippling stitch in the last couple of kms and I had to slow right down, and even stop a few times. So annoying because apart from that I felt really good and strong. Can't believe at the start of the year I couldn't run for 800m without dying and now I'm running nearly 15K.

Starting to manage 10k a bit more comfortably now, average pace of around 9:40 per mile
Really want to start increasing my speed now though, as my 5k is still around 9 mins per mile as well, does anyone have any tips? I currently run 3-4 times a week, on which one or two I do some sprints/intervals and one is a long run. Should I start increasing the intensity of these, running more often (say 6 times a week), or going for longer on my long run?
